A Wonderful Night

It was a privilege and a pleasure to participate as one of the authors reading for the evening at Shades & Shadows 16! I read select passages from my novel, The Kaleidoscope and met with other speculative fiction and horror genre authors.

The venue for the event, The Bob Baker Marionette Theater, was as mesmerizing as it was inviting. Our hosts were uber welcoming and supportive - you're the best Lauren and Xach! I cannot thank my friends and family enough for their having attended, their herculean efforts to travel to Los Angeles, and for all of the food/fun we shared over the weekend!

Upcoming Reading Event!

I'm excited and honored to be a part of an upcoming reading event! The creators of the Shades and Shadows reading series have listed me as one of their authors for this months honorarium, which is being held at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles. Tickets, location, and all other info can be found at the official Shades & Shadows' Facebook page.

Having just visited my family in San Diego last month, I believe a return trip to southern California will be a fun and worthwhile one. I look forward to meeting my hosts, the other authors of the night's readings, and any potential readers new to my work.
